Remi’s Story: Raising Awareness About Retinoblastoma

This is my daughter Remi. Just before her first birthday, she was diagnosed with retinoblastoma, a rare eye cancer that primarily affects young children. Thanks to her pediatrician’s sharp eye and quick action, Remi’s condition was caught early. She had her left eye removed and is now undergoing chemotherapy.

As a parent, nothing prepares you for hearing the word cancer. But we’re sharing Remi’s story to help other families. One small light reflection or white glare in a photo, or a missed red-eye reflex, could be a sign. Trust your gut. Ask your doctor to check your child’s eyes. Early detection can save vision—and lives.

We are incredibly proud of how strong Remi is, and we hope her journey inspires awareness and action.

Her mom recently reached out to us with a request for a building block set, and we were honored to send one to help bring a little joy during this difficult time.

Remi is thoroughly enjoying her new set, and our hearts are full after seeing her photos and hearing back from her mom
